Default Scanning/ Editing/OCR

I am a real novice with computers...

I have an Epson RX620 scaner hooked to HP Pavilion running XP/sp2..

What I want to do is scan in a from/document that once it is into a program I can them edit/fill it in and be able to pull it up to use each week. I have tried every thing I can of and can not figure out how to do it....

Any help will be appreciated;

In office 2003 there is "Microsoft Office Document Imaging" Under Office tools menu. you can do OCR there. I'm not sure if eairlier versions of office have it.

You can download a free one from here SimpleOCR - the only royalty free OCR engine! I used it ages ago but not bad for a free one!
